Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based

Field: Creative

Complete practical audio editing and production tasks in Audacity while recording and explaining each step of your workflow. The work supports AI training through edited audio, process documentation, task review and feedback on audio-related outputs.

The work

You will use Audacity for real-world editing tasks such as trimming recordings, mixing tracks, reducing noise and enhancing sound. Deliverables may include completed audio files, screen recordings and step-by-step explanations of the choices, tools and settings used.

Evaluation responsibilities

The project also involves reviewing audio-related tasks and giving feedback that can improve AI model performance. Expect screening to examine specific Audacity experience, knowledge of audio formats and processing, ability to identify quality problems, and judgment about when an edit improves a recording versus introducing artifacts.

What the platform screens for

Strong candidates can describe professional audio work in verifiable detail, including source material, Audacity features, export settings and quality checks. Human Data experience in annotation, labeling, RLHF or AI model evaluation is preferred, as is a professional background in audio production, sound engineering, podcast editing or digital media.

Logistics

This is a remote contractor role, and you must have access to Audacity and be able to record and share your screen. The listing does not specify whether assignments are fully asynchronous or state typical weekly hours. Pay band: $21–70/hr

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your Audacity experience is based on completed work and whether you can identify the tools, file formats and quality checks involved.
A strong answer: Use one concrete project and specify the source audio, editing problems, Audacity features used, export settings and how the result was reviewed. Separate your own contribution from any work performed by collaborators.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose credibility by naming broad activities such as editing and mastering without identifying a project, an Audacity operation or a delivered file.
